After clean installation and installing all the proper drivers no matter what I do, I CANNOT TURN MY WIFI ON!!! Please I need urgent help! I just don't know what the problem is! I've tried the vpn solution, tried upgrading from windows 7 and 8.1 both. Nothing works. Absolutely no solution I could find! cannot turn the wifi on through my hp laptop network button which is f12 it just turns on airplane mode and off. Bluetooth is working. But for some reason the wifi is not turning on! I've upgraded everything through windows update and drivers! No luck! No matter how I try the wifi does not turn on! cannot turn it on by clicking the tray icon, neither from action center, neither from system settings and also disabling and renabling the adapter does not work! What should I do? I need urgent help!
Is there a switch on the laptop (side or front edges) that turns Wifi ON?
no. there's not.Is there a switch on the laptop (side or front edges) that turns Wifi ON?
Some laptops have them and they are easily knocked so it was worth a try.no. there's not.
A quick Google for your adaptor indicates that this lack of WIFI is a common problem. Some users find that turning Bluetooth off helps and Wifi can then be enabled.
Bluetooth is off. Still no Wifi. :/Some laptops have them and they are easily knocked so it was worth a try.

I guess I'm out of ideas, it is almost certainly a driver issue but you have already explored that route. Sometimes older drivers work better than the new ones but I've not used that adaptor so I can't advise which one works in W10.
Un-plug the Ethernet cable then turning on the Wi-Fi.
Resetting the BIOS by unplugging the RTC battery solved the problem!Un-plug the Ethernet cable then turning on the Wi-Fi.
Glad you found the solution. :-)
